But a feud with Bobby sent Gore on a downward trajectory in Washington, so he left politics to write more, though he continued to cover Republican National Conventions with the morbid curiosity of a zoologist. He continued to publish essays and give lectures on persistent cultural taboos—sex, prohibitions of drugs, crime woo , and bigotry—in a sharper and more forthright manner than his ofttimes supercilious interviews and books.

While tolerant of realpolitik , Gore was irritated by rhetoric of the American exceptionalist sort. In , Vidal reaffirmed his reputation for tactlessness and balls of titanium. He did it by publicly engaging in correspondence with convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Vidal later wrote a Vanity Fair article entitled "The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh," which, if not humanizing the mass murderer, sought to understand his reasoning for the killings and the threat of future " blowback " for U.

The McVeigh affair was immortalized in a stage play suggesting a budding romance between the two pen pals to Vidal's consternation. A characteristic of our present chaos is the dramatic migration of tribes. They are on the move from east to west, from south to north. Liberal tradition requires that borders must always be open to those in search of safety, or even the pursuit of happiness.

But now, with so many millions of people on the move, even the great-hearted are becoming edgy. Norway is large enough and empty enough to take in 40 to 50 million homeless Bengalis. If the Norwegians say that, all in all, they would rather not take them in, is this to be considered racism?

The life and legacy of Gore Vidal?

The text of that speech is an excerpt from one of Vidal's favorite essays [6] on overpopulation and free trade. The rest of the speech is unavailable assuming that it ever took place. This quote is bandied around the internet, euroskeptic forums mainly. Meanwhile, in reality, Vidal spoke positively of the European project and the decline of the nation-state. Getting old usually is not fun, but Vidal made it look plain miserable. In his last years, he became hampered by a bad knee, forcing him into something of a Recluse Mode. His politics began to be more and more reminiscent of pre-war isolationism not unlike those of his grandfather.

This became evident as he started coming off as a relic of the America First crowd by spouting conspiracy theories about FDR and Pearl Harbor. Though he personally liked JFK, Gore did not shy away from criticizing what he regarded as a disastrous presidency.

He also held many heated opinions regarding Bobby Kennedy lying opportunist and his cousin Al Gore flaky careerist. Needless to say, meetings at the annual Gore family barbecues were few.
